10 Reasons To Love Bamboo

Bamboo is an incredible plant that is eco-friendly and fast-growing. It belongs to the grass family Poaceae, but bamboo is very treelike as it grows tall and sturdy.

Here's what makes Bamboo so Amazing

  1. No chemicals are needed.

    Bamboo grows naturally and doesn’t need chemicals or fertilizers to grow, so you don’t have to worry about toxins when using products made of bamboo.

  2. Produces 35% more oxygen than trees.

    Because of this, bamboo can help fight global warming and reduce our carbon footprint.

  3. One of the fastest-growing plants on earth.

    Certain species can grow up to one meter in 24 hours or at a rate of 40 mm an hour.

  4. Helps reduce soil erosion.

     The bamboo roots bind together to hold the soil, preventing soil loss.

  5. Can grow in a variety of conditions.

     Many species thrive in tropical climates, but you can also find bamboo in cool mountainous regions and cloud forests.

  6. Can be harvested in 5-7 years.

     The fast harvesting rate is impressive compared to a regular tree, which can take 30 years or more to mature.

  7. Is naturally antibacterial.

     The antibacterial properties of bamboo are all thanks to a substance called bamboo Kun. Bamboo Kun is found in the bamboo fibre and prevents bacteria and microbes from forming. The antibacterial properties make bamboo the perfect choice for bamboo straws and toothbrushes, keeping them fresh and clean.

  8. As strong as steel.

     Due to its high tensile strength, bamboo is often used in construction.

  9. Bamboo is compostable.

     Since bamboo is 100% natural, it will break down entirely in a couple of years.

  10. Highly versatile material.

    This miraculous plant is an eco-friendly alternative to many products like toothbrushes, straws, flooring and furniture.
